Description

This is a real deal early UK stereo pressing - NOT the Speakers Corner reissue that people try to pass as one. Based on the back sleeve, it appears to be 4/63, so not ED 1. This version is not in Discogs. Photos show exactly what you are getting.
Visually the vinyl looks VG. As you know it's a wonderful pressing, so sounds terrific with light - but persistent - background noise. True sound of vinyl as we like to say. On side 4, there is a feelable band (which we successfully captured, see last photo). This causes an in-and-out hiss for less than one minute. It's distracting. We think it can be repaired, since it is feelable, but we are not going to attempt it. Overall it grades to VG. Perhaps VG- overall if considering that one minute stretch.
The cover feels soft and has shelfwear and light creasing/pinching. It too grades out to VG. Stapled booklet is fully intact.
So not the best copy, but certainly in collectable condition. This record sells north of $250 in most cases. It's very rare, and not something you find in the States very often. We feel this price is competitive for the overall condition.
USA Postage is defined in the table below. 
For global shipping outside of the US, we use ebay international standard delivery.

Packaging: We have over 35 years of experience shipping vinyl worldwide. We take this very seriously and it's not uncommon for us to spend 20 to 30 minutes preparing your package. LPs (including 10 inches) are shipped in solid cardboard mailers, the vinyl is removed from the album cover (and both are placed in a clear (and clean) plastic outer sleeve for storage in your collection), corners secured, so that nothing will be moving around. We use the whole box! What that means is that your record will be sitting very comfortably in the middle of the package! We use cardboard stabilizers and old record covers to secure the bottom and top. All items should arrive at your destination in the same condition it leaves here.
